Solutions · Finance and board reporting

From general ledger to board pack,
without the all-nighter.

Upload or connect the monthly financials, drill each variance to the department that produced it, and build the board pack from the same snapshot.

The CFO Desk variance view: budget, actual and variance tiles, then the variance waterfall in which four departments' movements step up from zero to the total variance.

The variance drill

Budget against actual, by department, before the board sees it.

The CFO Desk reads the monthly financials you upload or connect and drills each variance to the department that produced it, from the same snapshot the board pack is built on.

For whom

For finance teams that defend their numbers to auditors, boards and regulators.

Capabilities

Four capabilities. One snapshot.

No. 01

Bring the numbers in.

QuickBooks and Xero connectors, or an export of the ledger, with every figure traced to the row it came from.

No. 02

Ask the CFO Desk.

A question in plain language, answered with the figures it used and the sources behind them.

No. 03

Drill into variances.

A waterfall by department, then by month, from the same snapshot the board pack is built on.

No. 04

Ship the board pack.

The board pack as PDF or PPTX, filed for approval when the policy is on.

The approvals queue with four requests: a cash forecast pending with one of two approvals, a KPI target change rejected, an operating budget approved and the board pack pending with none of two, each with its requester and date, Reject and Approve beside the two pending and the decision date beside the two decided.

The approval gate

Nothing leaves the building without two approvers.

With the approval policy on, the board pack is filed as a request. Two approvers sign off before the export runs, and the queue keeps the record of who asked and when.

The principle

Every number a citation.
Every action an audit log.

Citation-backed

Every figure links to the row or document it came from.

Full lineage

Trace a number on a slide back to the system that produced it.

Approval workflow

With the policy on, two approvers before an export. Every action is logged.

Unverifiable, flagged

A citation the checker cannot verify is flagged on the answer.

Next step

Close the books faster.
Defend every number.

Bring a recent variance question. Leave with the drill that answers it and the board pack that carries it.
